The village of Bingham is situated in South Nottinghamshire some eight miles to the east of Nottingham. The area borders the A46 and the A52, which meet at the Saxondale Island. This is situated to the west on the outskirts of Bingham. Bingham is also close to the neighbouring counties of Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
Neighbourhood Priorities
Through consultation with the members of the public in this neighbourhood we regularly set out a number of priorities to be tackled.
- Anti-Social Behaviour (Adult and Juvenile Drinking) – Radcliffe on Trent Show details
During the months of February, March and April 2010, the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) conducted a large number of priority survey forms (PSF’S) amongst the community. Over 200 responses were received.
As a result of the responses the information was used at the priority-setting meeting (PSM), which was held on Thursday 13 May 2010, in order to give a detailed account of what were the issues of concern within the community.
This meeting consisted of members of the community such as neighbourhood watch members, parish councillors, local residents and business people.
As a result of this PSM the priorities were identified and the Rushcliffe South NPT gave assurances as to how over the next three months these issues would be addressed.
Locations where identified with those most problematic in Radcliffe on Trent being Main Street, St. Mary’s Church Yard and the Queens Road area.
It has been identified from the surveys that the main times that problems occur is from 6pm until 10pm during the week and 6pm until midnight at the weekend.
Our Response
The methods to be used in combating the issues raised will be by high visibility patrols in these areas at appropriate times by members of the Neighbourhood Policing Team including The Special Constabulary.
Positive action will be taken and offenders will be arrested where required. Use will be made of stop and search powers and dispersal and alcohol seizures will be carried out.
Low-level offenders will also be identified and required to sign up to Acceptable Behaviour Contracts.
Operation Broadside
We continue to run Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Letters are sent to parents and also the details are shared with Rushcliffe Borough Council should further interventions be required. We have seen a decrease in anti-social behaviour and hope this continues.
Our patrols have also been supplemented by a number of Special Constables who work with us most evenings of the week. Please continue to report incidents to us on 0300 300 9999 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas.
We also continue to work alongside the Crime Reduction Partnership and Neighbourhood Watch.
Operation Buttonwood
This operation is when local officers are supported by other departments and they continually patrol the area in line with the Nottinghamshire Police 20/20 Vision. As anti-social behaviour has previously been reported, this operation involves targeting both the Risky People and Risky Places within the community. These patrols involve high visibility, both on foot and in vehicles, and are conducted in a positive manner.
This priority will be reassessed in August 2010.
The website will be updated on a fortnightly basis with news on policing activity, arrests of significance and any other relative information.

July 2010
During the past four weeks the local Neighbourhood Policing Team have continued to target the problematic areas identified within the local priorities. This period has seen a sustained reduction in the amount of anti-social behaviour incidents reported in these areas, including the most recent issue of nuisance motorbikes.
We are however, cognisant that there may be a ripple effect as a consequence of this so the team are closely monitoring the town centre’s neighbouring areas for any increase of incidents.
May I encourage members of the public to continue to report incidents, as this is vital to the police in identifying areas of concern and directing resources accordingly.
